Guest zfan Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 Bill, Good thing is you will get the car back just in time for the cool fall weather. Oops! Fall weather in Texas, ok so I goofed! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted July 22, 2003 Author Share Posted July 22, 2003 Mike, Notice that one of the items I've included in the list is a drive shaft loop. Bet you can guess why that's being included. Can't remember - at what speed/time do I have to add a scattershield? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zfan Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 Bill, I put one of the Summit brand drive shaft loops on my car a couple of months ago. I am going to do the same with the half shafts as well. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted July 22, 2003 Author Share Posted July 22, 2003 Mike, Have you done anything special with your half-shaft u-joints? I've heard Spicer makes a heavy duty version that will carry more torque. Have you heard that rumor? Why put loops on half shafts - or will they beat the car to death if they break at the wheel end?

Guest zfan Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 Bill, Yes I have the Brute force Spicers in, did it 3 months ago and yes again the half shafts can get real ugly underneath if they get loose. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niceguy678us Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 Why not just upgrade to 280zx turbo CV's? Using Ross's kit of course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
